If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said..

“I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons”

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.

Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

The billionaire oligarchs can own the coal mine, thus owning all the profits and means of production.

They can’t own the sun or the atmosphere. The profits and production all benefits the consumer with wind and solar, and THAT’S why they want to kill it. Because they can’t be in control.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

Suppose someone's child is gunned down. If one of you says to them, "Here are my thoughts and prayers," but does nothing else, what good is it?

In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

In the months after Hurricane Katrina, the National Guard patrolled New Orleans under a restrictive curfews & surveillance. That experience, more than any other, led me to walk away from conservatism & embrace radical politics.

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

What happens to a democracy when Confederates and lynch mobsters and segregationists and all-white jurors and gerrymanderers and vote suppressors and insurrectionists and election deniers aren't held accountable for their actions?

There's no way to prevent Donald Trump's authoritarianism, but we can still hold the people responsible for American fascism accountable.

If Harris were President, I’d be posting about healthcare for all and free lunches for kids and more funding for schools and journalism.

But, Trump is President so I have to post about concentration camps and thugs kidnapping people at work and kids working overnight in meat packing plants.
